Ewer Beach 2011

Ahhhhhh Pacific City.  One of my favorite places to be.  I'll let the pictures explain the why.  (I think you can clink on them to see them bigger.)

Mandatory stop at Tillamook Cheese Factory, YUM!

What we see as we enter the house.  And i get instantly giddy.

What crossed my path on my solitary bike ride, so cool!

Jon's sand angel :-)

This picture's awesome for two reasons. 1) Jon's a goofball, and 2)  Those cliffs in the background overlooking the ocean   are where joe asked me to marry him 8 1/2 years ago.

Not sure how many times he climbed back up the hill to re-fly the kite, but it was a lot.

Didn't get a chance to sit much in these chairs, but it sure looks like a nice view!

Aunt Corah's so fun!

Real men bead.

Where's Joey?

This was a rare sighting of Papa this weekend.  He slept during most of every day we were at the beach.  Had been sick for two weeks, was on day 5 of his antibiotics with no improvement, found out later he had had pneumonia.  Sorry Gary, we had a great time!

There's poor Papa, trying to be a trooper, wishing this photo shoot would end already.

Love you guys.  It felt like i blinked and it was over and done with.  Can't wait for next year!

Didn't see Ian a lot this trip mostly because my sis-in-law Rhianan was always keeping him occupied, washing his hands, getting him up to the table, etc.  I had to restrain myself to not beg and plead for her to come home with me.  What a difference it makes to just have an extra set of hands!  But seriously Rhianan, next year when school's out, maybe you could spend the night for maybe like, the whole summer?
